SUMMARY Most recent calendar entries deleted (about 15 hours worth) when reloading the file where they are supposed to be saved. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Right click on the name of the calendar in the bottom left pane. 2. Click "calendar properties". 3. Observer the file name where the calendar is supposed to be saved. 4. Click "okay" (or maybe it was "apply"). 5. Observe the calendar reloading with the all the recent entries absent. OBSERVED RESULT Most recent calendar entries are deleted. EXPECTED RESULT No loss of recent entries. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian Bookworm 6.6.20+rpt-rpi-v8 (64-bit) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I want to backup the .ics file where my calendar entries are saved. According the "calendar properties" they are saved in a .ics file in a subdirectory of my home directory which I backup. However, it seems that the changes are not being saved regularly to that file. I made numerous changes, but the time stamp of the file didn't change. I exited korganizer and still the time stamp of the .ics file didn't change. I restarted korganizer and all the most recent additions where there, but still the ics file was too old to be saving those recent additions. Then did what I described in "STEPS TO REPRODUCE" and it seems that the old ics file was reloaded and I lost all the recent changes that I'd made (which was about 15 hours worth). Where are the changes being saved, if not in the file in the "File Name" box in the "calendar properties"? I'd like to know so that I can back up my calendar files. I'd like to be able to force any changes I make to a calendar to be written to a named ics file that I can backup (without having to export that file as an ics file because I backup many times a day).
Hmm, this is weird, any changes should be written into the iCal file immediately. I suspect there might be some deeper problem with your Akonadi (also considering your other bug report). Could you please run the following commands in terminal and create one or two new events in KOrganizer? akonadictl stop QT_LOGGING_RULES="*=true;qt.*=false" korganizer &> log.txt Once done, please attach the log.txt file here (double-check the log for any personal data before uploading it) so we can try to better understand what might be wrong.

Hello Danial, Thanks for helping with this. Since I was already running korganizer from the command line, I noticed that when I choose "File > Quit" it didn't actually stop korganizer running, it just closed the window. And when I started it again, by clicking on the icon that I have on my panel, it opened the a korganizer window for the program that I originally started at the command in a console. This helps me understand why I could previously "quit" korganizer without it updating my .ics file with the new events, yet those new events were present when I restarted the korganizer. It implies that korganizer wasn't actually stopping, it was still running in the background, and caching the new events somewhere that wasn't in the .ics file. This explains why, when I reloaded the .ics the new events were lost (because the ics file was not up-to-date). Anyway, to start korganizer, I did the following: > killall korganizer > akonadictl stop > QT_LOGGING_RULES="*=true;qt.*=false" korganizer &> log.txt I've uploaded the log.txt file. These are the lines I got when I try, but fail, to paste an event: "Invalid parent collection" org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Error while handling command CreateItem on connection korganizer-3257944331 (0x55bd6ce520) kf.notifications: Calling notify on "Sound" kf.notifications: Calling notify on "Taskbar" org.kde.pim.korganizer: Incidence not added, job reported error: "Invalid parent collection"
Thanks for the debug log. I regret to say that I can't see anything else in the logs that would help narrow down the problem. Btw I just noticed: Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian Bookworm 6.6.20+rpt-rpi-v8 (64-bit) You are running on aarch64 RPI? I wonder whether there could be some ARM-specific issue, I think this is the first time I actually hear from someone running KOrganizer and Akonadi on Arm :)
I'm running on a Raspberry Pi 4B with 4GB of RAM. From my experience to date, it seems to work pretty well, apart from this problem that's stopped me from using korganizer. If you can think of any other tests I could run, I'd be happy to try them as it's easy for me to clone the SD card and experiment with different settings or run different tests.
